Each bottle in its own right
Eagle Rare 10 Year Old
Toffee, orange peel and dry oak. Excellent at RRP, poor value at what it usually sells for.
Contrary to a widely repeated claim, the 10-year age statement has never been removed — it moved from the neck to the back label in a 2012 redesign, and 'Single Barrel' was dropped when bottling was automated. Eagle Rare 12 launched in June 2025 as a separate SKU, which is the likely source of the confusion. Allocated in the US; the UK is not similarly constrained.
